Answer from what the passage actually says — stay in the text.

1. What does this show me about God?

   • David goes hunting for somebody to show kindness to. What does it tell you about God that he is like this?

2. What does it show me about people — and about me?

   • Mephibosheth calls himself a dead dog, and he ends up eating at the king's table every day. What changed — him, or how he was treated?

3. What will I obey this week?

   • Who will you invite in this week — to your table, your game, your group?

4. Who will I tell?

   • Who feels forgotten? How will you show them they are not?

3 Grow

Growth is God's part, not yours. Do the cycle faithfully and trust Him to give the growth (1 Corinthians 3:6–7).
